What strikes me about this whole DIY/informal learning/death of ISD conversation is that what were really talking about are those so-called motivated knowledge workers. These are guys who will take informal learning by the horns and run with it. At least, this is what Im told. Its ok Dan. Were not dead yet.

In video games, players often have the option of going to a screen to see the objectives, goals, and tasks for a ceratin level and that doesnt diminish the experience of the game, just like a link to objectives wouldnt diminish the learning.

Im a practical person at heart; not a theory-based one). With PLEs, there may be just way too much personal learning happening on company time for a CEOs comfort. Were all learning in our own personal ways and were each going to figure out how to best support that. Thats it, isnt it? For me, I add -- why bother?
